Yeah that is probably an issue. Kernel support for those is pretty
important, as I don't think they could be emulated outside the kernel.

OK, good point. Though we really need to get that encoding support
added. Of course I have no idea how complicated it would be and I
assume it isn't trivial since it has not been done yet. It seems like
this would be a great area for you to contribute. You probably know
more about video encoders and decoders than most other Haiku
developers :-D

That is of course perfectly reasonable.
